negotiating with various parties, such as military officers, rebel leaders, and guests.

including food, beverages, and accommodations, to keep operations running and
protect the refugees. Additionally, his ability to stay calm and composed in tense
situations enables him to make sound decisions. Overall, Paul exhibits strong
leadership qualities and genuine compassion for others, earning the trust and respect
of both his staff and the refugees.

- Paul feels a sense of duty to help those in need, particularly as the situation in Rwanda
worsens and the Tutsi face mass slaughter. He leverages his position as a hotel
manager, utilizing the resources and the relative safety of the hotel to shelter refugees
and offer them some protection.

illusion of foreign protection, utilizing the presence of UN peacekeepers to make the

hotel and its occupants. Additionally, he negotiates and leverages his connections to
keep the soldiers at bay, often appealing to their self-interest or sense of humanity.
